In \(n+m\) independent Bernoulli \((p)\) trials, let \(S_n\) be the number of successes in the first \(n\) trials, \(T_n\) the number of successes in the last \(m\) trials.
- What is the distribution of \(S_n\) ? Why ?
- What is the distribution of \(T_m\) ? Why ?
- What is the distribution of \(S_n+T_m\) ? Why ?
- Are \(S_n\) and \(T_m\) independent ? Why ?
- Are \(S_n\) and \(T_{m+1}\) independent ? Why ?
- Are \(S_{n+1}\) and \(T_{m}\) independent ? Why ?
